I will be going to Ottawa, Ontario this December. I was wondering if there would be much to do up there from the 19th to the 23rd?
I like hockey, but apparently there will be no Senators this winter. 😱 I was hoping to see a university game instead. I always like to watch my school's team play (we're in a different league and stuff, of course), and I figured I wouldn't be out of place at a university game given that I am 21. But nobody is playing after the first of December, understandably. The 67s aren't playing either. So will there be any hockey to watch during that time?
I was also planning on visiting some museums. My French isn't that good, would I have trouble if I crossed over to Gatineau to see the civilization museum? If I wanted to visit Parliament Hill, if that is possible, would it be worth it or is it just a bunch of boring shit like I could see down here? Because I can see plenty of fancy rooms and portraits of politicians in Richmond and DC.
What is the best way to get around Ottawa? I won't be driving. How do you all dress in the winter? How would I avoid looking weird to Ottawans?
Are the people nice, or at least normal, or are they unreasonable, impatient, know-it-alls like Richmonders are?
What are some things I shouldn't say or do while I'm there?
I like to talk a lot. Are people generally open to conversations with strangers, or are they closed off and anti-social like in some other cities?
